[pytables-users] rename a column?

[Ken Walker]

I'm still relatively new to PyTables, so trying to understand some of the
Table, Cols and Column operations.
I have an HDF5 file created by another application. It has a simple table
with 12 columns of data.
I can get the column names by printing the table description.
And, I can use the cols operator to print each columns name, coldtypes[]
and coldtypes[].shape.
I found ways to add or delete columns from the table.
Is there a way to rename a column (ie change the name)?

Thanks,
Ken Walker

Yes, a PR means a Pull Request on GitHub.

Thanks!

Hello Fransec,
This isn't a critical need, but I'm happy to submit a PR on this.
How do I do that? Is PR == Pull Request on github?

Hi Ken,
Uh, I don't think renaming a column is implement, but it sounds
interesting indeed, so a PR is welcome.
